Genesys Announces New Offerings to Unleash The Power of Great Customer Experience

Comprehensive Set of Contact Centre Offerings Bring Speed-to-Market, Simplicity and Innovation for Companies of All Sizes

Frimley, UK - November 20, 2013 - Genesys, a leading provider of customer experience and contact centre solutions, today announced three new contact centre editions—Premier Edition for small to mid-sized contact centres, Business Edition for mid-sized contact centres, and Enterprise Edition for large contact centres. These comprehensive offerings integrate technologies and expertise from the companies that Genesys recently acquired: Angel, Utopy and SoundBite Communications. Complementing these offers are new capabilities from Genesys for call recording, screen capture, and intuitive analytics. The intuitive analytics, called Pulse, are visual dashboards and interactive reports that provide real-time monitoring of contact centre operations and performance. The editions extend best-in-class customer experience solutions to new market segments and represent the most comprehensive set of offerings for contact centres ever made available.

"Companies spend vast amounts of money creating compelling brand promises that their customer experience fails to deliver," said Paul Segre, President and CEO of Genesys. "With the new Genesys contact centre editions, companies of all sizes can now rapidly deploy systems that transform customer experience into a competitive differentiator."

Industry Analysts and Customers Applaud the New Product Offerings
"This is a major competitive step for Genesys. It starts with technology that is designed for the complex needs of large enterprises and makes it available to small and mid-sized contact centres," said Dan Miller, Senior Analyst and Founder at Opus Research. "Plus, new packaging makes it easier for a new group of smaller customers to implement and use Genesys technology. The dual-pronged approach sets the stage for higher levels of growth."

"The days of the proprietary Automatic Call Distribution system being the only vehicle through which a company manages customer interactions will soon become a by-gone era," said Keith Dawson, Principal Analyst at Ovum. "These offerings from Genesys afford companies the opportunity to choose from a more flexible and innovative set of customer experience solutions available in streamlined deployment models that clearly delineate between cloud, premise and hybrid solutions to better meet the needs of today’s customer experience leaders."

"The ZoomSystems customer experience is all about simple, intuitive and rapid time-to-deployment, which is exactly why we think Genesys is a great fit for high growth companies like ours," said Michael Shaw, SVP of Operations, ZoomSystems. "Integrating Genesys means fast growing companies can now use the leading cloud-based customer experience solutions to think big and have the flexibility to grow big too."
